BT Alliance: Collaborate to Innovate

At BT we pride ourselves on being able to offer a complete portfolio of end-to-end global services for our customers. Sometimes, the best way for us to do that is to rely on the local knowledge offered by in-country suppliers and use applications and capabilities developed by other companies that meet the needs of specialised vertical markets served by a particular customer.

We’ve learned that in order to deliver a comprehensive and uniform set of valued services for customers globally we need to build close working partnerships with key organisations - this enables us to have the right reach in the right places.

Our vision

At BT we have a partnering vision which places our customer at the heart of everything we do. We believe that serving their needs will make us a better business.

Our mission is:

to be the partner of choice for delivering networked IT services via our partners.

to address the global requirements of our target customers and verticals through collaboration with our partners.

to be Number 1 for partner experience.

to drive sustainable, profitable growth by delivering end user value through partnering.

to build a passionate and high-performing partnering capability across BT Global Services and the BT partner community.

Global Networked IT Services

BT offers Partners a modular approach to access our portfolio of global networked IT services. Rather than being obligated to market and sell the whole BT portfolio, Partners can choose only the products which are suitable and complimentary to their business. By combining BT’s capabilities with their own, Partners can offer a higher value to their customers.
